About 1985 Software Solutions

Pioneering Digital Excellence Since 2011

Our Story

1985 Software Solutions wasn't born in 1985 – but our passion for technology has its roots in that transformative era of personal computing. Founded in 2011 by Prakash Raman and Sharath Shambu, our name is a nod to the year that saw the release of the first version of Windows, symbolizing the dawn of accessible computing.

We started as a small team of three developers working out of a tiny office in Bangalore, crafting basic websites for local businesses. Our first project? A simple five-page website for a veterinary doctor. It wasn't groundbreaking, but it ignited our passion for using technology to help businesses thrive.

As we grew, so did the complexity of our projects. We rode every wave of technological advancement – from the responsive web design revolution to the mobile, ecommerce app explosion, and now, the AI renaissance. Each new challenge has been an opportunity to learn, adapt, and excel.

"Every product we develop is a step towards a more connected, efficient, and innovative digital world. We're not just building software; we're crafting the future, one project at a time." - Sharath Shambu, Founder

Today, we're a team of over 20 professionals spread across three continents, serving clients from Silicon Valley startups to huge enterprises. But no matter how big we grow, our passionate founders never forget our roots – that spirit of curiosity, innovation, and personal touch that defined our early days.

Our Mission

At 1985 Software Solutions, we believe that cutting-edge technology shouldn't be the exclusive domain of tech giants and unicorn startups. Our mission is to democratize digital excellence, making world-class software solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes and industries.

We're committed to:

  • Bridging the Technology Gap: Helping traditional businesses embrace digital transformation without fear or confusion.
  • Fostering Innovation: Encouraging our clients to think big and leverage technology to disrupt their industries.
  • Building Lasting Partnerships: We're not just service providers; we're your technology partners, invested in your long-term success.

Our Values

Our values aren't just words on a wall – they're the principles that guide every decision we make and every line of code we write.

  • Relentless Innovation: The tech world never stands still, and neither do we. We're always learning, experimenting, and pushing boundaries.
  • Uncompromising Quality: In a world of "move fast and break things," we prefer "move thoughtfully and build things to last." Our code isn't just functional; it's a craft we take pride in.
  • Radical Transparency: No tech jargon, no hidden agendas. We believe in clear, honest communication with our clients and each other.
  • Adaptability is Survival: The only constant in tech is change. We don't just adapt to change; we anticipate it and thrive on it.
  • Client Success is Our Success: Your goals are our goals. We measure our success not by billable hours, but by the impact we have on your business.
  • Empathy in Engineering: We don't just understand code; we understand people. Every solution we design keeps the end-user front and center.
